379 The Disaster

Bogota is a plateau city located in western Colombia.

The city is 2,600 meters above sea level and surrounded by mountains.

Because it is deeply influenced by the Caribbean climate, the climate here is humid and the temperature is pleasant.

From the moment the plane landed, Chen Rui's feelings about this city were very complicated.

This is his first time visiting a South American city. How does this city make him feel?

Very strange!

Yes, it's just weird.

On the one hand, this city is one of the largest cities in South America, with beautiful scenery, and is even called the Athens of South America.

But on the other hand, the city is very shabby.

After leaving the center of the city near Santa Fe Plaza, there are several high-rise buildings.

In other urban areas, there are dilapidated buildings of varying heights.

It's okay when you're near the city center, but when you get to the outskirts of the city, it feels worse than the sixth-tier small counties in China.

The streets are extremely dirty, and there are many homeless people living in the green belt in the middle of the road.

And from the moment they landed, Nelson was warning them in their ears.

There are some areas in Bogota that you absolutely cannot visit.

Those places are full of drug addicts and street girls. It is very unsafe to walk there alone at night.

Hearing what he said, Chen Rui couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Is it in danger that the United States is still in danger now?

Which cities in the United States don’t have homeless people on the streets? Which ones don’t have drug addicts?

Especially Philadelphia, which has become a ruined city!

The streets are full of weird zombies.

So much so that some people have given Philadelphia the name of a zombie city.

Originally, cities on the west coast were a little better.

But in recent years, several big cities along the coast have also fallen.

For example, in Portland and San Francisco, there are now a lot of zombies on the streets.

Like here in Colombia, it's pretty good.

At least these people are not zombies yet.

However, Chen Rui secretly complained about these words.

In front of his father-in-law, he would not dare to say nonsense.

They stayed at an American brand hotel chain in the center of Bogota. The environment and location were pretty good.

When we got to the place, we put our luggage away, and a few people went outside to stroll around.

It had just finished raining in Bogota at this time, and the air was very fresh.

The three of them ordered some snacks on the roadside.

"The empanadas here are very good. Over the years, I have never found authentic empanadas in the United States."

Nelson had the experience of being stationed here in his early years, so he is also very familiar with the local food.

This kind of street food would not be possible without his introduction.

Chen Rui definitely wouldn't dare to eat randomly.

"This so-called empanada is actually a traditional food originating from Spain."

"It means fried dough in Spanish, but the Spaniards use white flour."

"And Colombians use cornmeal."

Nelson kept explaining this street food to the two of them.

And when he saw the empanada being cooked, Chen Rui couldn't help but have a good impression of this kind of food.

Because this thing, in terms of shape, is exactly the same as the big steamed dumplings in the north of China.

However, domestic large dumplings are steamed.

The dumplings here are fried, and the empanada is filled with fillings just like the dumplings.

Compared with Eastern European dumplings, the fillings are more in line with Chinese tastes.

Chen Rui used to know several classmates from Eastern Europe and had eaten their country's specialty dumplings.

For example, the famous Polish dumplings are actually filled with mashed potatoes, and some are filled with cherry fillings.

The taste is really hard to describe.

The dimes here are more normal, and some have a whole steamed egg inside.

Others are filled with beef or pork fillings.

There is another kind, which is stuffed with turkey meat.

Chen Rui was a little curious about turkey dumplings, so he ordered one.

Not to mention, this stuff tastes really good.

The dumplings are fried and have a crispy and golden outer skin.

The meat filling inside has been seasoned before, and the turkey meat is minced very finely.

The meat filling has been cooked before, so it doesn't taste too bad.

It was when making this meat filling that a lot of cinnamon powder was used. The smell made Chen Rui feel a little bit heady.

In our country, when stewing meat, two pieces of cinnamon are usually added to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma.

But in Europe and the United States, they like to grind cinnamon into powder and put it into various foods.

Anyway, Chen Rui has never been used to eating.

But today in Bogota, he was convinced by the fried dumplings with cinnamon turkey.

I can’t say how amazing it is, but it tastes really good, and the taste is really close to Chinese food.

This made Chen Rui's impression of this street snack immediately overwhelming.

In the next few days, Chen Rui and others turned into tourist mode.

I wandered around the streets of Bogota every day and tried all kinds of local snacks and delicacies.

And the reason is that they are not in a hurry to hunt for treasure.

This is mainly because of the environment in which they live.

Even though they seem to be peaceful, in fact they know it.

From the moment they entered the country, they were targeted.

Because Colombia is a landlocked country located inside the South American continent.

The country doesn't have any outstanding mineral resources, and it also has a bad reputation.

Therefore, there are actually not many foreigners visiting this country every year.

Even if there are, most of them come from neighboring countries, Venezuela or Ecuador.

So people like them are very visible when they suddenly appear on the streets of Colombia.

You will be spotted soon.

Over the years, many people have come to Colombia to ‘tour’.

But these people generally have two purposes. One is to find the source of that kind of goods.

I want to get in touch with the local boss who wants to do some business.

The other type is the guy who wants to find Pablo's treasure.

After all, the reputation of Pablo’s legacy can be said to have spread throughout the world.

Although thirty years have passed, many people still flock to Colombia from all over the world every year to hunt for treasures.

People in the local society generally choose to follow these treasure hunters.

When they were looking for treasures, they watched from a distance and would not bother them.

But once these people really find the treasure, the local society will not be polite.

It's polite to go up and grab it openly.

You're welcome, there are countless people who kill people and steal goods.

Therefore, many countries will warn their citizens not to wander around here when nothing happens.

Because of this, the three of them did not dare to head straight to Medellin blatantly from the beginning.
